Sen. Imee reveals Bongbong Marcos to possibly run for president in 2022 elections
Senator Imee Marcos revealed on Thursday that her brother former Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. is considering running for president in 2022.
Bongbong Marcos has been noted as the second-leading possible presidential candidate according to pre-election surveys.
Earlier, the former senator said that he will run for president in the 2022 elections if there is enough support.
However, he said that it is difficult to make a decision at the moment on whether he will vie for the said post due to many uncertainties.
Meanwhile, Senator Imee Marcos revealed in an interview with ANC on Thursday that Bongbong is considering running for the country’s highest post in the 2022 elections.
Although there’s no official declaration yet, she said that there’s a possibility for her younger brother to vie for the “top spot.”
“For all intents and purposes, he has his own set-up and he’s running for president at the present time but not officially declared. But he’s walking around with a possibility of a top spot,” she said.
But according to her, she is not in favor of her brother’s interest to run the said post.
It can be recalled that it was in May when Bongbong Marcos met with Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
Inday Sara, the daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, is the current leader in pre-election polls.
However, the two did not discuss their plans for the 2022 elections during their meeting.
MarMarcos lost to incumbent Vice President Leni Robredo in the 2016 elections. He protested his election defeat but the Supreme Court dismissed his appeal.
She stressed that becoming a president is a “very difficult” task.
